Useful For (ประโยชน์การทดสอบ):
Diagnosing and monitoring hepatobiliary disease, it is currently the most sensitive enzymatic indicator of liver disease. Ascertaining whether observed elevations of alkaline phosphatase are due to skeletal disease (normal gamma-glutamyltransferase: GGT) or reflect the presence of hepatobiliary disease (elevated GGT). A screening test for occult alcoholism.

Clinical Information (ข้อมูลทางคลินิก):
Gamma-glutamyl transferase was first identified in kidney tissue. Even though renal tissue has the highest level of GGT, the enzyme present in serum appears to originate primarily from the hepatobiliary system, and GGT is elevated in many forms of liver disease. Elevations in GGT levels are seen earlier and are more pronounced than those with other liver enzymes in cases of obstructive jaundice and metastatic neoplasms. It may reach 5 to 30 times normal levels in intra- or post-hepatic biliary obstruction. Only moderate elevations in the enzyme level (2 to 5 times normal) are observed with infectious hepatitis: therefore, GGT measurements are less useful diagnostically than transaminase determinations with this condition.
 
Reference Value (ค่าอ้างอิง):
Male: 7– 65 U/L
Female: 7 – 50 U/L
 
Interpretation (การแปลผล):
An elevation of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity is seen in any and all forms of liver disease, although the highest elevations are seen in intra- or posthepatic biliary obstruction. Elevated values can also indicate alcoholic cirrhosis or individuals who are heavy drinkers. The finding of increased GGT and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity is consistent with hepatobiliary disease. The finding of normal GGT activity and increased ALP activity is consistent with skeletal disease.
